Challenger CLHM-FLA-3WA Third Wheel Forklift Adapter for CLHM Series Mobile Column Lifts
The Challenger CLHM-FLA-3WA is a purpose-built third-wheel adapter designed to safely lift and stabilize three-wheel forklifts using Challenger's CLHM series mobile column lifts. Constructed from heavy-duty steel at 255 lb, this adapter provides the specialized third contact point required for tricycle-configuration material handling equipment that standard four-wheel adapters cannot properly support. The CLHM-FLA-3WA measures 14.5" W x 56" H x 49" D and is compatible with CLHM-140 and CLHM-190 series mobile column lifts. Pair it with the CLHM-FLA Fork Lift Adapter (sold separately) for complete fleet coverage across all forklift configurations in your facility.
Challenger CLHM-FLA-3WA Features
Purpose-Built Third-Wheel Geometry
The CLHM-FLA-3WA is engineered specifically for the single rear wheel configuration found on three-wheel forklifts. Standard four-wheel adapters cannot safely engage tricycle-configuration equipment because their lift points do not align with the single rear wheel placement. This adapter provides a secure third engagement point that matches the unique weight distribution of three-wheel forklifts, keeping the vehicle stable throughout the full lifting range of the mobile column system.
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
Built from steel with a unit weight of 255 lb, the CLHM-FLA-3WA delivers the structural integrity required for safely lifting material handling equipment. The robust construction ensures reliable, repeatable performance in demanding commercial and industrial service environments where equipment is used daily.
Verified Dimensional Specifications
The CLHM-FLA-3WA measures 14.5" W x 56" H x 49" D, with specifications verified across multiple authorized dealer sources. These confirmed dimensions allow facilities to plan storage space, delivery access requirements, and material handling capacity before purchase, eliminating surprises at the loading dock.
Explicit CLHM Series Compatibility
This adapter is designed exclusively for use with the CLHM-FLA Fork Lift Adapter (sold separately) and is compatible with CLHM-140 and CLHM-190 series mobile column lifts. The CLHM-FLA-3WA is not compatible with CLMM-5000 Mobile Column Lifts, preventing costly misfit purchases and return freight charges.
Mobile Column Lift Flexibility
As part of the CLHM mobile column lift ecosystem, the CLHM-FLA-3WA inherits the portability of the parent system. Mobile column lifts require no dedicated lift bay, no in-ground installation, and no permanent infrastructure. The adapter travels with the mobile column system, enabling three-wheel forklift service on any solid, level surface within your facility.
Complete Fleet Coverage with Ecosystem Integration
The CLHM-FLA-3WA complements the CLHM-FLA Fork Lift Adapter to provide complete material handling equipment service capability from a single mobile column lift system. Together, these adapters enable servicing of three-wheel forklifts, four-wheel forklifts, reach trucks, pallet movers, and other warehouse equipment configurations, eliminating the need for multiple specialized lifting systems.
Challenger CLHM-FLA-3WA Applications
